Buildings are all around us!

Let's take some time to talk about the important and interesting buildings that are in our lives.

What would life be like if we didn't have buildings?

Where would we eat or sleep or learn?

An artist named Romare Bearden loved the buildings on his street. He created many important works of art about them. 

There is so much going on in this long collage, lets look more closely at a few sections.

Where can you see rectangles?

What other shapes can you find?

What are some of the buildings in your town used for?

This building has a barber shop.

Can you tell what this building was made out of? 

How does the artist show what is happening inside the building?

Today we are going to create buildings using shapes we cut out of paper to create a Collage City!
